[01: Accidental Voice Post]

[unseenspy]

[Jay is still examining the journal, still wearing the shorts he woke up in. He doesn't realize the journal is actually recording, because technology/computers are not his forte.]

I'm confused. There must be some reason why I suddenly woke up here with wings on my back. And this journal...there's something strange about it.

I want to believe that this is just a bad dream, but unfortunately, I know better...

My mind is flooded with questions: Where am I? Why am I here? Where are my clothes? I don't like being without my clothes...

[Shiver]

Is there anyone else here...or am I alone?

It's not a dream. You're in a place called Luceti... here, this (http://wise-maiden.livejournal.com/24338.html) should explain things for you.

Jay is NOT happy with the information, yet he is glad that he now knows what's going on.

I...see. Thank you...

[Voice]

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

Jay?

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Jay blinks at the familiar voice. Doubtless that he is quite relieved to recognize someone in this accursed place.]

S-Senel? How long have you been here?

[Voice]

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

[It is Jay. Even after all this time, he wouldn't mistake the voice. ...It's kind of nostalgic.]

It'd be easier to explain face to face... You're in the forest?

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I actually don't know where I am at the moment. I'm in a bedroom of some kind. I'll go outside shortly and try to find these shops to see if my clothes are there...

[Voice]

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

Right. I'll meet you at the square, then.

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

All right. I'll look for you out there.

[Provided he can find the square, that is...]

[Since it's Jay, Senel is confident it won't take him long. He'll be waiting where he promised, arms folded.]

[Action]

[Jay leaves the room and makes his way outside. He's still shivering...it isn't really cold per se, he's just not used to expose his sensitive body to the air. He walks awkwardly, thanks to his aching wings, folding his arms and shivering. He looks around, spotting a fountain ahead.]

I-Is that the fountain? Is this the square? S-Senel....?

[Action]

[alliance-marine.livejournal.com]

[Senel spots him quickly, and leaves his position to meet him.]

Hey. Good to see you.

[Action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Jay looks up at him, but only slightly.]

Hmm? Yes, it's...good to see a familiar face in this...situation...

[Voice]

[Another New Feather? This was the third one he'd heard/met/replied to this cycle. Nevertheless...]

Do you require any assistance?

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Um...I'm not sure yet... I've received the guide, and I'm still trying to grasp everything...

I'm going to explore this place once I'm done here. You can look for me if you want. Um...I suppose you're another one of the "subjects" here?

[Voice]

[hiding-in-white.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Are you in the village now? I suggest you head to the Welcome Center.

[voice]

[The sound of Jay's voice is an insta!ping for Shirley who is, of course, immediately worried for him. Arrivals are never fun.]

Jay? Is that you? Are you alright?

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Huh? Shirley, too??

Hmm...I suppose I'm all right. Still kind of achy. I'm not thrilled about being a guinea pig for some insane experiment, though.

[voice]

[prayingone]

[Sympathetically.] I'm sorry... your wings are going to ache for a little while longer. They usually start feeling better after a day or so...

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see...

[Tries to reach his back to feel his wings again, but they are still out of reach.]

What's the purpose of these wings anyway? It seems we can't really fly with them...

[voice]

[prayingone]

They're ... what mark us as the Filial. We have to take care of them; damaging to them is a threat to our lives.

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I've heard about that already. I don't like these wings...

But I know I can't just take them off...

[voice]

[prayingone]

Has anyone showed you the guide yet?

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've received the guide already. It was quite helpful, although it was disturbing at the same time...

So, I've seen you and Senel so far. Is there anyone else from the Legacy here?

[voice]

[prayingone]

Um... yes. [Time for an AWKWARD PAUSE. Well, if he's read the guide, he should know that the dead can be brought back in Luceti...] ... Stella and Walter.

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Huh??

[Well, the guide did mention people being brought from the dead...or perhaps Stella and Walter were brought from an earlier time period before their deaths.]

[But no Moses? Now who was Jay going to take out his frustrations on?]

...I see. Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to get out and look around...

[voice]

[prayingone]

[Oh, Jay. She'd help him out if he asked, but she knows how prickly he can be about that sort of thing.]

You should head to the town center... you should be able to find what the Malnosso took at the shops there. You'll know you're there when you see a fountain.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

If I may direct your attention here (http://wise-maiden.livejournal.com/24338.html) a moment.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've already received the guide from...a cat-like thing. Thank you.
